This is a direct result of India having American entrepreneurship and capital market forces exported to them from the US. Good for them. I hope they keep it up and start seeing the fruits of their hard earned labors. $35 is probably mostly from government subsidies, but be that as it may, they will start to innovate in their learning environments.

@q12345q6789 - I am not "meh" on India. But the Indian government, god bless it, is famously unable to get broad based plans done in any sort of time frame. And somehow they are going to distribute computers? Dude, how about water or paved roads. In the capital.

Delhi in July makes Baton Rouge look like Boulder. I was amazed as I thought Mumbai in July was harsh. Delhi was in another world. It was 44 the night I left and 22 in Bangalore two hours later. I had to put my jacket on as I sorta felt chilled.

I don't see why you would price it at that level, even if you could. The sweet spot for such a thing is more like $199. The only reason I, and millions of others, don't have an iPpad is the price is about double what we are willing to pay.
